    Episode 18 - Unlocking Happiness With Vanessa King

    On this episode we welcome Action for Happiness Board Member, Vanessa King (MSc), author of “10 Keys to Happier Living” to explore how we can all embrace happier living. We dive into some fascinating studies which highlight the importance of happiness in our personal and professional lives and talk about some real life examples of the application of the “GREAT DREAM” principle to living happier lives. Vanessa’s wealth of experience & depth of research shines through in an enlightening and enjoyable conversation about how we can change the mental dialogue from “constant critic” to “wise coach” and get one step closer to the one thing we want for others but rarely prioritise for ourselves… happiness.

    Podcast Episode 17 - 2020 Round Up

    In this episode of the podcast we reflect upon the year that was 2020 and what it taught us about ourselves and our resilience. We also look forward to 2021 and discuss what we are expecting to see in the world of Mental Health. Disclaimer: This podcast was recorded in the run up to Christmas, long before the Tier 4 restrictions were announced. As such we have uploaded it as a record of how we felt at the time, and share it with our existing audience on the basis we will come out of this current peak again with optimism for the future as talked about in this episode. We have taken the decision not to publicise elsewhere on that basis

    Podcast 16 - Tom Edwards: Childhood anxiety and challenging the internal voice

    In this episode Tom Edwards shares his story of childhood anxiety, a topic that has very little exposure. Mental health problems affect about 1 in 10 children and young people. They include depression, anxiety and conduct disorder, and are often a direct response to what is happening in their lives. Alarmingly, however, 70% of children and young people who experience a mental health problem have not had appropriate interventions at a sufficiently early age. Tom recounts his journey through school, university and his early career; how it felt to suffer with anxiety, the impact of low self esteem and how he now values his self worth. Tom is open, honest and inspiring, encouraging us all to think about how we value ourselves and challenge our internal voice.

    Episode 15 Living in Flux - Exploring Bi-polar with Jamie Forsyth

    On average it takes 9 years to be successfully diagnosed with Bi-polar and 3 million people in the UK live with it. Yet, it is something that is barely spoken about. Jamie Forsyth is here to change that. In this episode, Jamie shares his extraordinary story of living with bi-polar and the way it can completely takeover your life without warning. We talk about the transition from working as a Prison Officer to being a prisoner, the difficulty getting a diagnosis, and the amazing work Jamie is doing now to raise awareness about bi-polar and reduce the stigma surrounding mental health disorders. A fascinating and educational listen that we can all learn from.
